Film Description

A top-rate cast play out one of the most spellbinding thrillers to play in the cinemas in recent years. A tale of love and obsession and a blend of Gallic romanticism and Hitchcockian style, this is a tale of assumed identities, twists and duplicities, and its toying with the fragility of appearances becomes a play on imagery itself.

Review by Andy Mckay on 13th April 2004

Perfection! L'appartement satisfies on many different levels. Perfect cast, great locations, a plot that twists, teases and turns on a sixpence and a musical score to die for.

Vincent Cassell inhabits his role of Max, a hopeless romantic about to be married to Muriel. That is until a chance encounter with Lisa, once the love of his life.
Abandoning all reason, Max embarks on a journey of discovery as he follows Lisa's trail, only to discover that everything isn't what it seems...

With a nod to Hitchcock, Giles Mimouni's directorial debut is slick, assured and brilliantly executed. It's a great trick of a movie and one which will suck you in completely.
Romaine Bohringer and Monica Bellucci (Cassell's real life wife) both excel and there is enough chemistry between the four leads to keep Glaxo in business. An essential movie.

Hollywood is currently about to unleash a re-make. Bring L'appartement into your life. You won't regret it. (I know this to be true - 46 viewings and counting.....!)
